Sleep apnoea syndrome prevalence in chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several studies have examined the frequency of sleep apnoea (SA) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), reporting different prevalence rates. Our systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to define the clinical penetrance of SA in CKD and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients.
